Want to know everything there is to know about this car?
-
Economy
Value
All the toys you could wish for.
Costs
Dealers will give good discounts on new prices. Servicing every 2 years or 18,000 miles makes it very cheap to run.

On the road
Driving
Much more refined than my previous Golf and Focus.
Performance
115bhp from a 1.6. The engine loosens up after 2-3000 miles and gives good performance for the car's size and weight.

Living with it
Reliability
So far so good. I had doubts about buying a 'dodgy French car' beforehand, but this is the only new car I have owned that has not gone wrong in its 1st 6 months. This includes various German and Jap cars that have failed me.
Image
Most people like the looks but Renault are still not regarded in the same light as BMW or VW.
Comfort
I find the seats very supportive for long journeys. I am 6' 4" tall and there is plenty of head and knee room. Good adjustments on seets and steering wheel.

Security and Service
Security
Alarm and immobliser fitted as standard. Keyless entry and ignition will make it very hard to steal.
Service
Dealer was happy to take my money and provide me a new car. Have not had to visit them since.
